Federal 100: John Bergin

Pushing boundaries. Bergin's expertise in cloud computing, data center consolidation and IT efficiencies proved to be a key driver in the Navy's efforts to reduce spending by $2 billion. Besides helping to guide consolidation efforts, he also pushed for the service's first commercial cloud contract and improved transparency through the Department of the Navy's IT Efficiencies Dashboard. Bergin's readiness to challenge the status quo, ask the tough questions and bring data to the discussion for well-informed decisions is helping the Navy tackle what officials call one of the service's biggest problems: culture change.
